[Nook Color Themes and Apps] JCAndroid87:
I know someone was going to beat me putting the nookcolor as a car stereo if I didn't hurry to do it but much respect for the guy that did this first . I worked on my Nookcolor, installing it as a car stereo this weekend on my 2004 Gmc envoy and still modifying my dash to make it blend in. Running Nookie Froyo.Now to work on developing a car stereo app will be great with build in FM radio and visualizer and equalizer. I'm barely learning how to develop apps reading some books on android app development and Java to make my app come to life but I do not have a lot of time, with school and work one tends to get a bit frustrated and tired. I'm hoping some one can help me out with my idea of an app if its not yet on the works. I was inspired byAndroid and everyone here in the XDA community to try and make some great ideas come to life. Android 100% right here :)

Until an actual interface adapter is made to bypass sound and volume control from the vehicle wiring to just a plain rca cable with 3.5mm Jack, I intend to use my tab as is. I will come up with new ideas tho. ;)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Test in dash v2.1(overclocked)

Still same as v2 just added a couple more apps to make feel a bit more like indash stereo.

Apps Added:

Stayawake(this works great so far on phiremodCM7 plug in USB cable and screen stays on, very stereo like feeling, better yet it dims out to save battery but still stays awake) :)

Last FM(working so far)

ADW Ex launcher

Miren browser(Browser of Choice)

Apps removed:

TuneIn radio(The app started giving me trouble and forcing close, worked for a while tho.)

Apps not working so far:

YouTube or flash( Flash and video playback does not work as stated before but I'm pretty sure it will soon. I tried watching transformers 2 to see how it looked and did not work on phiremod CM7 yet.)

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Test in dash v2

Changed Nook Rom to:

Phiremod CM7 (looks great very responsive, hotspot data connectivity way faster with my HTC EVO on 3g not on 4g. Will test on 4g to see how much faster it connects but no youtube)

Apps Using and still testing:

TuneIn Radio for local stations(since no bluetooth)

PowerAmp (using this app because has build in EQ and song can be change with finger swipe)

Pandora(running 100%)

MortPlayer (still sounds good but prefer PowerAmp because of the look and EQ ) "DSP Manger still doesnt work"

I still need to add volume and mute widgets.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Test in dash v1

Nookie Froyo 6.7 (Did not test 6.8 yet)

Using PowerAmp app as main choice for stereo. It includes EQ settings.

MortPlayer Installed

Pandora Installed, works great if connected to phone hotspot.

Apps that I'm trying to develop.

IndashStereo App.

With Navigation compatibility.

YouTube video compatibility.

Bluetooth compatibility if tab comes with it. Probably all tabs will for now on.

Facebook and tweeter song share buttons.

Meaby traffic updates.

IndashStereo Remote

This is another app I want to develop which I will need Bluetooth.

Should have Bluetooth compatibility to connect your Android Phone to connect to Indash Stereo app on the tab so you can share music and use the phone as remote control for app.

Suggestions and opinions are welcome. :)
